Genesis 19

Two angels came to Sodom, and Lot took them in; the men of the city surrounded the house demanding the visitors, but the angels struck the mob with blindness and urged Lot to flee. The LORD rained fire and sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah, destroying the cities of the plain; Lot's wife looked back and became a pillar of salt. Lot and his two daughters escaped to a cave in the hills, where his daughters bore him sons — Moab and Ben-ammi, fathers of the Moabites and Ammonites.
